Se, Jui (Lust Caution)

Newest release from Ang Lee, whom I have really enjoyed in the past (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain). Very indulgent and saturated with rich color, carefully shot and really, really badly written. One of my biggest pet peeves is when nothing is left for the viewer to figure out. The (very) graphic sex scenes feel awkward and gratuitous. The story is flat and while, it did keep us interested, it just didn't meet our expectations.

I did like the costumes.
